Configuring the Allow block

[W-Unit]

Hi,
Is there any way I can set it up so that anyone can connect to my server (with or without a password) but if they DO supply a password, they will have a different set of restrictions in the allow config?
Specifically I want to change allow:maxperip 2 to allow:maxperip 4 for people who connect with the password. Perhaps something to do with allow::options::nopasscont (I don't fully understand the way nopasscont works)?
I want anyone to be able to connect from anywhere with the password (so no restrictions on ip or hostname)

Thanks!
W-Unit

Allow blocks are read upside-down, so put your general one first and your passworded one last. And set allow::options::nopasscont (or whatever it is) for the second one, so that those who don't supply a password get redirected to the first one.

The docs do make this quite clear.

Erm...I'm sorry but I just got everything set up a few days ago and this is too complicated for me...

I have no idea how to use nopasscont, and I cannot figure it out from the docs. If you could explain it or even give an example i would be most grateful.

Sorry for my n00bishness

Code: Select all

allow {
    ip "*@*";
    hostname "*@*";
    class clients;
    maxperip 2;
};
allow {
    ip "*@*";
    hostname "*@*";
    class leet-clients;
    maxperip 4;
    password "iamveryleet";
    options { nopasscont; };
};

(from the top of my head at least)

hrmm...
Well it worked fine for a second, then I tried to see what would happen if I changed my oper block to class leet-clients (yes, I did add a class { for that) and now everything is fucked up. I get these errors on rehash (the first two of which I got on rehashing even when it did work)

Code: Select all

-irc.sillynet.com- *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:1058: Ignoring extra data
-
-irc.sillynet.com- *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:1058: Ignoring extra data
-
-irc.sillynet.com- *** Notice -- unrealircd.conf:224: illegal oper::class, unknown class 'client' using default of class 'default'
-
-irc.sillynet.com- *** Notice -- Configuration loaded without any problems ..

And those errors come up even when I change my oper back to class clients and comment out everything that has to do with leet-clients.

However they do not seem to do anything, so should I just ignore them or what?

You have syntax errors in your configuration, so a few of your configuration blocks can't be parsed. I'm almost sure, if you correct those errors, Syzop's example configuration will work as well.

This, to me does raise an interesting point.
I would call those errors "problems," yet Unreal tells me that nothing is wrong. Is this correct?
